App Showcase: AI Music

What it does

AI Music is a creative tool that uses artificial intelligence for two primary purposes. First, it allows users to create AI-generated covers of existing songs using a library of celebrity, cartoon, and fictional character voices. Second, it can generate entirely new, original music tracks based on descriptive text prompts, allowing users to specify mood, style, and instrumentation.

Where it shines

The app excels at making complex AI technology accessible and fun. The onboarding flow (00:15 - 00:31) brilliantly simulates the app's core functions, giving users a tangible sense of the magic before they even start. The just-in-time tutorial for pasting a YouTube link (00:47) is another highlight, thoughtfully guiding users through a potentially tricky external step without breaking the experience. The text-to-music generator (01:23) is also powerful, providing a simple interface with clear options for duration and style to create custom soundscapes.

UX highlights

• The app uses a dark, focused UI with vibrant green and blue gradients to create a futuristic, tech-forward aesthetic.
• Voice models and music styles are presented as large, visually engaging cards, making browsing intuitive and enjoyable (00:51, 01:27).
• The 'Generating...' screens (01:04) use a clean, concentric circle animation that provides clear feedback without being distracting.
• A persistent 'Create AI Cover' button at the bottom of the voice selection screen keeps the primary action always accessible.
• The app includes helpful, non-intrusive prompts, like the 'What's a credit?' pop-up (01:19), to explain its economy to new users.
• The music player is simple and functional, with standard controls and clear visual feedback for generated tracks (01:40).

Monetization & growth

The app employs a hybrid monetization strategy. Core creative actions are gated by a choice to either 'Watch an Ad' or 'Get Premium' (00:54). This captures revenue from free users while consistently nudging them towards a subscription. A prominent paywall appears at the end of onboarding (00:38) and is accessible throughout the app, offering weekly and lifetime access plans. The lifetime plan is promoted with a 'SAVE %70' tag to create a sense of value.

Who it’s for

This app is designed for content creators, meme makers, and casual users looking for a fun way to experiment with music and AI. Its ability to quickly generate covers with recognizable voices makes it ideal for creating viral content for social media platforms. The text-to-music feature also appeals to creators looking for custom background music for videos or podcasts without dealing with copyright issues.

Notes & opportunities

The user flow can feel slightly disjointed due to the frequent interruptions for ads or premium upsells. While effective for monetization, this could create frustration for users trying to complete a creative task. Additionally, the distinction between creating AI covers and generating music from prompts could be made clearer in the main navigation, as the app defaults to the cover creation flow after onboarding.
